data protection etc.

A certain gaming league uses its own anticheat program, which scans processes currently running whilst the anti-cheat is active.

SGLac will scan your local memory processes and compare them to a list of known cheat programs. SGLac will not scan or check any area of your local storage or any of the files contained therein neither will it make the results of the local memory process check public to anyone including theSGL admin team unless a positive match is made or cheat detected at which time this information will be made known to only the senior admins.

That's what the exe does, however if the local harddrives were scanned would this not infringe privacy or any computer act?

If it is doing something different than what it says it is, I think that's illegal...it says it doesn't scan it all, but if it does, that could be a lawsuit, perhaps?

SGLac does not scan your hard drive - full stop. I should know, it's my AC.

It does just what it says on the tin. If you want to be more specific about what you think it's doing then ask away, here, our site, vent , email - whatever you want.

Aren't you the same "spunge" banned from our site for racism ?

The data protection act is only concerned with personal information, so unless your hiding your bank details in EXEs and DLLs it's irrelevant.

IANAL though.

That's what it claims the exe does, however it's become apparent that it scans ALL exes on a system.

Is this not against the data protection act?

Not at all.

The data protection act means companies who hold data on you are binded by law to:

1. Make sure the data is correct
2. Not share the data without your permission.
